From what has been said already, it is possible to ascertain the allotted period of a person's life as affected by the untoward events due to the positions of the lords of the 1st, the 10th and the 8th bhavas and of the planet Saturn; but as it crops up again in connection with nidhana or the 8th bhava now under treatment, it is to be dealt with once more. If the lord of the 8th bhava being associated with a malefic planet occupy the 12th or the 6th bhava, the person concerned will be short-lived. The same effect is produced when the lord of the 8th bhava being weak happens to be associated with the lord of the Lagna in one of the two bhavas above-named.
